And im on the water committee. I am greatly concerned about this issue, as being knowledgeable of the results of earthquakes in 1906 and 1989 in San Francisco. This is the most pressing problem that we face, as a city. I would wholly endorse the comments that have already been made, but let me add that time is of the essence. You know, i look at this project and think that this is relatively small, compared to the water rebuild system that the p. U. C. Has pretty much completed at this point. That happened in roughly 17 years, at max. You know, the United States sent a man to the moon in ten years, upon the leadership of jack kennedy. Building this system doesnt cost that much. And it needs to be done. Politics needs to take a backseat to the technical needs of getting a comprehensive Fire Suppression system that uses nonpotable water from answer infinite source. Thats what the grand jury has essentially argued for. Bell dings and so thats why i urge you to support this Going Forward i

Grand jury report. And of their findings. And their recommendations. What motivates me to come here today, yesterday morning, despite the best efforts of the station 15, two members of our community lost their lives in a fire on dellano avenue. Woodframe building, built in 1915, like so many woodframe buildings on the west side and southern sides of town, where theres a greater concentration of families and children. At present, we dont have a system that can handle the big one in those areas. I feel strongly that the city departments and the financing people need to focus on solving this question seriously. I thank the grand jury for their recommendations, for their effort and i thank mr. Dute and nancy werfell for having led so many people and explain this to them. Thank you. Mar thank you.
